VOUDOOED.

An Entire Family. Consisting of Ell ev en-
Persons, Slowly Poisoned. Supposedly by
q Colored VoudoO DOctor-Some of the
Victims Past Recovery.
MILLEDGEvILLE, Ga, March 15-Mr
Spights, who lives near Browns Cross
ing, came to town yesterday and reported
that the entire family of John Harris, col
ored, consisting of him self, wife and nine
children, were poisoned on the plantation
of Mrs. j. NJ. Morriss last Friday. The
poison acted slowly, and medical attend
ance was not summoned until Sunday
evening. By that time one of the family
was past hope, and the others in a very
critical condition. Every member Of the
family was, when found by DIR. Harde-
man, in a semi-un conscious state, from
which they have not yet recovered. One
of the children died Sunday night. The
verdict of the coroner's' jury was that the
child came to it's death from poison at
the hands of some unknown person or
persons Suspicion rests upon a voudoo
doctor in the neighborhood, and is
grounded upon the fact that he
makes the treatment of poison a
hobby, and the suspicion is strengthened
by the fact that the poisoned family in
Cured his anger by ridiculing his power.
1t is supposed he placed the poison in the
meal bag by slipping it through crack
in the log house. Several articles of food
and the child's stomach have been brought
to this city, and will be thoroughly exam
ined by experts. The mother and two
other children are almost certain to die,
while the fate of all is very uncertain.

POULTRY BUILDINGS.
How a Great Number of Chickens Can
Easily Find Range on a Small Farm.

How Great Number of Chickens Can
Easily Find Range on a Small Farm.
The lack of suitable buildings is one
of the chief obstacles to success in
poultry-keeping. If only roosts in
open sheds or in stables used for other
animals are provided, there is no en-
coura gement to raise large number, or
to observe system in their feeding and
care. Men too often think that
because hens live through the winter
and lay eggs in spring and summer,
care would be needless. They have
not been accustomed to fresh eggs all
winter, or spring chickens earlier than
harvest time, and think life can be en-
dured some longer without these lux
uries. But we Will suppose that the
profits of some thrifty neighbours wife
has really set them to thinking, and
the chicken-house, so long desired by
mother, has been really decided upon.
Where, and after what plan shall it
be built, are the immediate questions.
The boys favor some location away
from the barns. They don't like the
''hens cackling around the managers"
Mother and the girls prefer to have it
rather near the house, ''where it is
easy to look after the biddies in the
winter" If the chickens are to be reg
ularly fed in winter, there is no longer
any need of their being near the corn
cribs or feed-yards. Some sunny,
sheltered nook at the edge of the
orchard or grove is best, where the
most range is to be had, together with
warmth in winter. A bank or steep
hill, facing south or east, into which
the house can be partly built, will add
to the comfort in winter. but care
should be used to so construct it that
dampness is avoided.
Trees, preferably evergreens, should
be planted around the house for shelter
and hiding places in case of invasion
by hawks. When free range is given,
as will usually be the case, house
giving AZ square feet of floor TO each
fowl will answer. A flock of 80 fowls
will thus require house 10 by IA feet.
Where this number of hens is kept
over winter, more room is required, as
the number will be larger most of the
time. In the fall some fowls will be
reserved for late markets and for home
consumption. In spring and sum-
| mer more room will be needed for
setting hens, and for the young chick

fronted by Deputy Ray with a cooked re-
volver in his hand, Vincent thinking the

threw up his hands, stating that he had

formality of waiting for arequisition from

complied with the request, and brought
him direct to Montgomery. arriving hero

When the news spread that Vincent was

Large crowds gathered at the Jail 10 catch
glimpse of the prisoner, and knots OF
men assem- led on the street TO discuss
the arrest and bringing back of the noted
fugitive. 1t has long been suspected
here that Vincent was in Mexico, occas-
ionally taking trips to Texas, where his
family is said to live. They left here
about year or so after his flight, and it
is supposed went to Texas, where they
have been ever since.
Vincent's flight on January %, 1883, his
endorsement Of $225, 600 of State funds,
which he lost in speculation and gam

rest him, are matters of history. 1t re-

sympathy of the people here on account Of
his interesting family.

years older than when he left here His
trial on Indictment containing thirty-two
counts for embezzlement will come up at

An Expensive Dance.

In Portland, Ore, there is bakery
window that usually contains a tempt
ing array of cakes. Sponge-cake,
pound-cake, lady-fngers, puffs. and.
indeed, dozen other kinds of sweet
bread, serve to make the mouths of the
children fairly water when they go past
the big window. The other day a gen.
tleman went into the bakery to leave
an order, and with him went his dog
good-sized animal, of frisky dispo-
sition. When that gentleman came
out, he shut the door behind him, for
getting that he had left his four-footed
friend and follower inside the bakery.
AS for the dog, he was in a great way.
Seeing the door closed against him, he
got into state of mind ordinarily de-
scribed as CRAZY In his eagerness
to keep track of his master, he looked
all around for place of exit Now,
one of the sashes in the big show
window aforementioned was raised
an inch or SO, and the
dog therefore made dash for the win
dow. His first leap took him on top of
a fine, frosted wedding-cake, and his
paws sank into 1t just as boy boots
break through crust of snow. Finding
himself still in a trap, and being unable
to break the plate-glass, the dog began.
to hop round, with his fore-paws
against the panes and his hind-feet

and the more the rich and highly-orna-
mented products of the oven suffered.

he put his foot through a cake at
every jump. At the height of the ex-
element, the baker, who had been
away, entered. The dog saw the door
fly open. and quitting the window at q
bound, he darted away. Nothing more
was seen of the animal, who probably
did not know what havoc he had made
in the unfortunate bakers window

none too much room where 80 hens are

STYLES OF SPEAKING.


Effect OF Temperament On the Character
istics of q Speakers Language.
The facility with which one speaks
that which he thinks and feels indicates
the function of language, but the style
or characteristics of the language which
persons use is, of course, varied and
colored according to the temperament,
strength and peculiar combination of
the other traits. A man with pride and
steadfastness will become familiar with
all the words born of dignity, authority
and power. One who is severe will be-
come master of, and give special en-
phasis to, the words which relate to
force, courage, severity and acrimony.
One who is social will learn all the lore
of love, friendship and affection will
have all those adjectives at his tongues
end which SAVIOR of sociality, or serve
to illuminate those subjects which

hunger for applause will speak elo-
quently of responsibility, of good So
ciety. of style, elegance and whatever
ministers to ambition, and will be
adopts in the use of those words which
carry the JUNCTION of fattery.
A man who is prudent and cunning
will be especially familiar with, and
employ with great effect, all words
which relate to fear, anxiety, solicitude.
policy and guardedness of conduct and
expression. He will learn how to
shave a subject very closely with
out hitting it; how to go
gracefully around those crooked,
unsavory phases Of life which may not
be laid open or exposed. In short, he
will learn how to talk and say nothing;
and how not to commit himself. He
will button-hole man and take him
to some out-of-the-way place. and
whisper suggestions, instead of utter
ing courageous and manly facts and
opinions. Another person win drive

sion Of the very core of the subject;
will talk loudly and not care who hears
him. Those in whom the aesthetic pre-
walls will be inclined to speak of the
beautiful, the sublime, and the poetical;
will incline to exaggerate and employ
the superlative degree of comparison.
To them things will be perfectly
splendid, gorgeous and august.
Persons with less of the poetical and
imaginative will be calm, accurate,
dry, very realistic. Their style of Ian
guage will resemble grapevine in
the month of Mlrch, pruned close to

has sturdy verbs and nouns. Webster
illustrates this style in his mastery

The Car-Heating Problem

WASHINGTON, March 16-The contents
of i. the numerous letters suggesting
methods of heating railroad cars safely,
which have been referred to General Du-
mont, Supervising Inspector-General Of
Steamboats,, will not be made public until
report on the subject is made to Con-
gress in December, as to do so might in
terfere with patents that may be in con-
temptation. A large number of the
methods suggested are such as have
been tried or discussed frequently.
Some suggestions are entirely
new and many are utterly impracticable.
By few persons the subject is handled
scientifically, by men who have made
study of how to avoid the horrors of fires
at railroad accidents. The plans that are
most thorough at the departments are
those which contemplate having the heat
furnished from distinct car attached as
a tender to the engine. Several plans
upon this idea have been suggested.

Tommy Fane's Novel Scheme for Securing
Al Little sister to His Liking.
Tommy Fane's hair was jet-black,
and so was that of his little sister, who
was only four months old. They both
had black eyes. But Tommy didn't
think black hair and eyes pretty. He
loved his little sister very much, but he
used to wish she had yellow hair and
blue eyes, like those OF baby he had
once seen in the park
just across the street from where
Tommy lived was q new house. and
one day family moved into it While
they were putting things to rights up
stairs Tommy went in to look around.
Almost the first thing he saw was
cradle, and in it lovely baby. with
yellow hair curling in little rings all
over its head, and it's eyes were blue.
'Oh, dear! / wish our baby looked
like this thought Tommy. Then he
wondered if his mother wouldn't rather
have this baby than her own. He knew
she, too, thought blue eyes pretty.
He stood looking at the baby a mo-
ment. and then lifted it from the cradle.
1t was almost too heavy for him to car
ry, but he held it close. and, taking it
home, put it in his little sisters cradle.
Then he carried his little sister over to
the other house.
A few minutes later the mother of
the yellow-haired baby came to take
the little thing upstairs. She thought
when she saw the strange baby in the
cradle that she must be dreaming. She
knew her baby's hair and eyes couldn't
have turned black in an hour. Some
body had stolen her own child, and left
this one in its place.
She picked the baby up and ran
across the street to tell somebody the
dreadful thing that had happened.
She didn't know Tommy's mother, but
she went right in the house without
stopping to knock. And there was
Tommy, showing his mother the new
little sister with the yellow hair
'Why, Tommy his motheS
Then she saw the stranger in the door
way, and ran to take the baby from her
arms.
And the strange lady caught up the
baby in the cradle, glad enough to have
found it safe. -
Both the mothers cried at first, but
they laughed when Tommy told why
he had exchanged the babies. They
didn't scold him, for they knew he had
not meant to do wrong, and was sorry
he had made so much trouble. FLORENCE
